Ace Nigerian rapper, Jude Abaga, popularly known as M.I., has said that he made a mistake by supporting the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The ‘African Rapper No. 1’ crooner explained that he supported the APC in 2015 because he felt the then-ruling party, the PDP, was corrupt.
He admitted that the APC isn’t living up to expectations, adding that it wasn’t the party of his dreams.
Speaking in a recent episode of the Menism podcast, M.I. said, “I tweeted about the thing [herdsmen attacks] that happened in Benue and a lot of people were saying, ‘But M.I., you supported the APC.’
“Yes, I supported APC because at that time, I felt that the PDP government was very corrupt. I was part of the people who lifted my voice to say, ‘Let us stand and bring in democracy.’
“As a human being, no matter how much you try to be right, you will be wrong [sometimes]. APC, unfortunately, isn’t the APC of my dreams.”
He stated that he is now focused on using his talent and platform to collaborate with other youths in building a better nation.
